For those of you who haven't fully taken advantage of this limited time offer, here are a few things you should bear in mind before initiating a character transfer to a different server:

Transfers are not available between North American and European servers.

You will be able to complete up to 6 transfers a week (7-day period) per account.

Not all possessions will transfer over with your character so be sure to read the corresponding Knowledge Base article before you decide to transfer a character.

Super-group affiliation, Prestige and access to your Supergroup base items will be lost.

You may lose your character's name when transferring from a server.
